I am now 20 weeks and fat. Today I will be finding out the gender of the baby along with Isaac. We are now a "thing" As he says. Ever since the kiss, We have fallen for each other. It is about time that I move on with my life. That doesn't mean i'll forget about Augustus, But I can't cry forever. I am sure he would approve of Isaac and Augustus Junior, as I call him/her is kicking a lot. The Doctor said that is a sign of a healthy baby. I park in the parking lot and help Issac out of the car. He is still getting used to his cane. Once we walk in, Isaac and I sit down and wait.

"She's gonna be a fighter. Just like you, Hazel" exclaims Isaac. Patting my stomach.

"What makes you think that it's a girl?" I laugh.

He smiles. "I just do"

"Hazel Waters?" says a nurse, walking out of the doors that lead to the offices.

I freeze before standing. Hazel Waters. Issac pats my hand and I stand. He corrects the nurse and we walk to do the ultrasound.

A clear gel is rubbed on top of my belly. The Doctor twirls a wand around. A picture of the baby comes up on the screen beside me. My baby.

Isaac grips my hand tightly and laughs with excitement. "That's her"

The doctor pauses. Issac stops laughing.

"There's.... There's...." stutters Isaac.

"There's what?: I ask. "THERE'S WHAT?!??!" I say louder.

"Twins" Isaac replies.

It takes a while before the Doctor breaks the silence. "That's right. The one on the left, Baby A, Is a girl, The one on the right, Baby B is a boy."

"Cool.." I say. "Awesome."

The Doctor explains everything we need to know. The twins are both perfectly healthy. No sign of any cancer. Yes!

"Abigail?" asks Isaac.

"No"

"Riley?" He tries.

"Nope"

"How about Elisa?" He is clearly getting irritated.

"UGH!" I yell. "None of these are helping us!"

"How about we try to look for boy names?" Isaac asks.

I nod, and we flip through the baby names book.

"Uhh.." Isaac groans. "I don't like any of these."

A great name pops into my head. "Augustus!" I exclaim.

"What about him?" Isaac asks.

"Augustus, lets name him Augustus!" I scream.

Isaac laughs and nods excitedly.

After a few minutes, We decide that his full name will be Augustus Lancaster Waters. I like it. I love it.

We still haven't chosen a girl name yet. I don't like any of them.

I excuse myself and go up to my bedroom in Isaac's house.

I walk up the the window and talk to Augustus. "What names do you like?" I ask.

"I really need some help here..."

....

"Come on, give me a sign or something."

....

"Please..."

I clench my fist. Something is in it. A green stone.
